Hannibal : Sucking

January 18, 2007

Imagine a SA Chandrasekar movie of 1980s - where SA Chandrasekar (SAC) himself will play a mysterious man sheathed in a black kambalam and will make an occasional appearance. The SAC character would look apparently pointless, until sometime before the climax, he will explain his "flashback" to the hero (usually gaebtan vijaykanth). The flashback will reveal how SAC's hands were cut off/ legs chopped off / wife-daughter-sister raped by the villain. Now i had a similar experience to viewing a SAC flashback while reading Thomas Harris' fourth book in the Hannibal Lecter series - Hannibal Rising). If you want a cheesy "making of the monster" book go read hannibal : rising at your own peril
